About the Book:
Marky the Sharky is a heartwarming story about kindness and the true meaning of friendship. It revolves around a question that we all need to consider: What happens if we don’t look like our friends? Will they still want to be around us? Through Marky’s journey, young readers will discover that real friendship goes far beyond appearances; it’s about accepting and appreciating each other just the way we are.
